Name

Hrašče was attested in written sources in 1498 as Krasschach, with a locative ending. The name Hrašče, like similar names (e.g., Hraše, Hrastje, Hrastovica, Hrastnik), is derived from the plural demonym *Hrasťane, in turn derived from the word hrast 'oak', and originally referred to the local vegetation.[3]

Church
Saint Anne's Church

The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anne and belongs to the Parish of Hrenovice.[4]

gollark: Wait, how does the SC team keep mods updated?
gollark: Curse, curseforge, Twitch, FTB, who knows any more.
gollark: The main problem is dependency management. I was working on a pack using mcdex, but Curseforge is annoying.
gollark: Maybe only 60 or so.
gollark: osmarks.tkcraft™ would be somewhere between PB2 and SC and be designed with somewhat fewer mods.
